The forecast looks so grim, so hopeless, so freakin bad that I can not even hope to get out on the bike. So, it's to the trainer. I did my Granville hill climbing routine a couple of times this week, which is 10-20 hill repeats up Thornwood and did some trail running to try to shed some weight but no luck putting in a long ride on the weekend. I'll pick up a few DVDs and chain myself to the bike and try to maintain sanity while I pedal the trainer. Friday marks 2 weeks until my departure for California...I can't wait but I am so far behind my usual preparation that I am getting kind of panicy. It could be worse, I could be headed to CA next Friday, which is what Flyin Tuna is doing. Gawd, she is going to die out there on those mountain slopes. She promises to call in every few days to report on the excrutiating week and I will update here. Oh yeah, found this image of me from a few years ago. Kind of explains my enormous cycling strength
